Convincing Jamie to take a break from work was really hard this year! So our family vacation was quick and simple. We drove to San Antonio for a couple of days to do all the traditional tourist things. Unfortunately, Gavin and I both had a terrible bout with the stomach flu (I guess some of mine could have been morning sickness). Gavin lost so much weight that his clothes didn't fit, and when we got home he was nearly hospitalized. He was down to 22 pounds!
Even though the trip wasn't a complete success, we did have one very fun day at SeaWorld. We saw the shows (poor Gav slept throught Shamu) and we got to pet the dolphins! I loved that part!
Last night Gavin went to his first Halloween Party! Not only was there lots of fun food and people, but we celebrated his birthday early. He got lots of fun presents like race tracks and mops...who'd think a mop would be one of his favorite gifts?
How come Mom's the one putting the garage together?
A new track suit for our cold visit to Utah!
A fancy new suit for Aunt Woozie's wedding! 
I can't take it anymore! The anticipation is just too much...
And then he falls asleep before the show even gets going.
But later he was excited to see the Flamingos with Daddy!

Gavin loves to help around the house. He loves the swiffer and uses it to dust all of his toys. His mom tries to get him to use it on the floorboards, but what fun is that? Last week he tried to help with mopping.
Looks what happens when an almost two-year-old gets his hands on mascara!
